Adding build-tools to env path

[Khader-Siddik]

Hi,

I recently struggled with issue adding build-tools to environment path in ubuntu-latest runner. I need to sign my apk before uploading to artifact. I see there are few actions on marketplace to sign the apk but unfortunately my organisation blocks those actions providers. I tried doing it manually after setup-android job. But on trying to get the dir ‘$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools’, it fails with error that build-tools doesn’t exist. Can you help me doing this. If build-tools is installed, I will be able to grep the version and add it to the path. Then, I would be able to use zipalign and apksign to sign my unsigned apk.

Thanks

There's no build-tools installed by the command. I confirmed this by calling ls $ANDROID_HOME in the workflow.

However, I found a solution to install build-tools:

      - name: Setup Android build-tools
        run: |
          $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/16.0/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;34.0.0"
          echo "$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/34.0.0" >> "$GITHUB_PATH"
